Before Volunteering I was really nervous and lacked confidence, however this opportunity has helped me to gain confidence through working with children from different ages and abilities which I have profoundly enjoyed. This further lead to me wanting to volunteer as an option throughout the holidays. Every member of staff is really friendly and made me feel really welcome.Without this fantastic experience I wouldn't be where I am today! Thank you. "
